I don't understand emojis

[Everlong]

Am I just too old, or tech illiterate, or what? Seems like everyone on Twitter/Facebook/whatever uses emojis all the time, attaching a ton on to every message, and I just don't get it.

GET OFF MY LAWN.

I couldn't tell you the difference between and emoticon and an emoji. I'm not even sure what an emoji is.

[Viazon]

^Second. What exactly is an emoji?

Catch up with times, guys.

Brett you're even older than me there's no hope for you any more.

A what? Is that like an emo genie?

[War Daddy]

Emoticons and Emoji are the same thing from my understanding.

[Everlong]

Emoji is like a brand name/certain line of emoticons that got started on Apple devices, I think?

Basically go on twitter and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm not even 23 and I have no desire to know what the fuck an emoji is, was, or ever will be.

I vote we rebel and rename our site "FUCK EMOJI"

[Westcoastvibes]

I would like to know who the fuck comes up with some of them and thinks its a good idea to include them in a bundle?

Just looking threw the ones on my phone and about 99% of them i couldn't even fathom how they would ever work in a statement. " HAHA, LOL, YOLO <spiral poo emoji> <winking cat head emoji>"

Ugh, fucking emoji emoticon bullshit.

If you can't adequately express how you feel with words above the age of five, you probably shouldn't be allowed to communicate with anyone, for the good of our species.

@Messiah said he uses emojis all the time, then deleted his post...

GET HIM!!!!!!

[Messiah]

Hell yea I do. All the time. Emojis are awesome. Texting and using emojis as we speak.

Besides, on a forum where we all use a bunch of smilies, are we really going to criticize the use of emojis?

[Everlong]

I have no problem with the use of emojis. I just tend to not understand them.

Like why do people use the crying one so much?

This one?



This one is kind of hard to explain. I usually use it when something is really funny but also kind of fucked up, so I feel bad for laughing but can't control myself. Also can use it when something bad happens.

This is my favorite one:

Emojis are annoying as hell and i dont personally use them, but they do make some sense on twitter. Its basically a way to get your point across without going over the character limit.
